Does anyone watch the Olympics on primetime?

Just curious if there's a large number of people that wait till primetime to watch the Olympics. I haven't watched any Olympic coverage live yet.

It's kinda cool to watch it when the rest of the country does, even if we all know the results already.

I'm about to. What sucks is that there's a lot of live stuff that gets cut. Mainly crashes and stuff like that, but probably a lot of Harlaut's commentary I'm guessing.

every night! although I always hate how USA-centric the coverage is (not saying I'm surprised). Definitely enjoy the daytime segments more as they show a lot more random stuff you never see on primetime at night.

My fucking dorm parent won't let me watch it even through I finished all my homework hours ago. Every other dorm parent doesn't give two shits about us watching tv during study hall, but this guy is a complete hardo. Fucking pissed off. Now I have to wait until monday to watch it when I get home. Fuck you school and my dorm parent and having to go home and watch it.

i haven't really watched any of it on primetime except for skiing slopestyle right now...i can't seem to make it 17-18 hours from when they happen till they're on tv without finding the results....one i know the results, it kind of loses the appeal.

It's great to hear Luke Van Valin announcing, he's doing a very good job and overall I think freeskiing is being presented to the world in a very positive way. Which a lot of people originally were concerned about. But the best part is typing Henrik Harlaut in twitter and reading the tweets from people around the world who are introduced to him for the first time..HA!

anyone notice how out-of-order they showed it? Joss's "1st" run was the 95, and I think Hatveit was in 2nd until the second runs started happening

Yep.

Made it all the way through school without getting on any social media or overhearing the results, and when I told ONE PERSON 10 minutes before schools over
"Hey, you watching the olympics tonight? I'm super excited to watch the mens ski slopestyle"

He says "Nah I already know who won" and then when I beg him not to tell me because I've been avoiding it all day he just fucking ruins it for me and blows everything, scores, first, second, third etc....

I'm pissed
